This is just a simple mini 160 Quadcopter frame kit.

Electronics are the same as JAQUES 350 Quadcopter

I fly it using a 2S 800mAh or 1000mAh battery to keep the weight down.

With smaller motors and more compact electronics flight time could be greatly improved.

It is about 5 minutes with the 1000mAh battery.

Edit 03/02/2019: Added a lighter weight version (MiniQuadV5) of the base plate for a smaller electronics stack.

I used this ESC in a 20x20 hole pattern.:

Since the ESC doesn't have a built in BEC I have used one of these I had on hand:

install this ESC first with the nylon standoffs it comes with.
Then install the OpenPilot CC3D over it w
